TxDOT Innovative
Project - AV/CV Test Bed
to improve Transit,
Bicycle, and Pedestrian
Safety
• Identify Safety Concerns Related to Transit, Bicyclist, and Pedestrian Interactions
• Identify AV/CV Technology to Address and Help Mitigate Concerns
• Identify Concepts for Demonstration, Testing, and Deployment
• Identify Partners

Improve Transit, Bicycle,
and Pedestrian Safety
Transit, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Interactions
• Turning Buses and Crosswalks
• Buses and Bike Lanes
• Park-and-Ride Lots
• Bike Racks on Buses

Collision Warning
System
• Pedestrian and Bicyclist Detection Based on Four Cameras and Machine Vision
• Easily Retrofit on Existing Buses; No DSRC Required
System equipped with up to four strategically
placed multi-vision smart cameras

Texas A&M
Pilot Test
• Install Mobileye System on 1 Texas A&M bus
• Use Central Campus Route with Heavy Pedestrian
and Bicyclist Traffic
• 6-week pilot in Jan-Feb 2016
• Evaluated Accuracy of Pedestrian/Bicyclist
Detection
• Interview Bus Drivers for Opinions and Feedback
Results:
Detection
Accuracy• % False Alarms: 37 Collision
Alerts in 27 Days
• For All Alerts, Pedestrian or Bicyclist in Close Proximity to Bus

Feedback• Most Liked Shield+ System –
Gave Helpful Reminders
• A Few Experienced Drivers Questioned Value: “It Never
Warned Me of Something That I Hadn’t Already Seen”
• Most Wished System Could Operate in Low Light (Does Not)
• Mixed Opinions About Whether Collision Warnings Gave
Drivers Enough Time to React

Collision Alerts
